<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Wednesday, We Day came to the U.S.
for the very first time in Seattle, Washington. We Day is a celebration for
youth who have performed one local and one global act of service. You can't buy
a ticket to We Day; you earn it. I was lucky enough to be one of the 15,000
kids who attended last week and have to say it was one of the most amazing
events I have ever been to. By the end of the day after listening to speakers
such as Martin Sheen and Magic Johnson the energy in the room was so high you
could imagine the walls bursting from all the excitement. Everyone left
inspired and ready to make a difference.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The night before We Day was the
evening of champions and Dinner of champions. The former was a smaller celebration
for youth who have put forth a special effort and the latter was a more formal
event for adults who made We Day Seattle possible. I was given the opportunity
to speak at both events; below is the speech I gave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Ever since I can
remember, I lived by the code that I was going to save the world. I didn’t know
how or when; all I knew was that I had to help somehow. When I was little, I
tried a few tactics; forming clubs, putting up posters, writing stories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>None of which were very successful. I didn’t
really know how to organize things at the time, and when obstacles presented
themselves I had no idea how to move around them. One day while counting rests
in a dull 8<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> grade honors band rehearsal, I began to contemplate
all the problems in our world; how ignorant and unwilling to change people
could be. It was during that two hour rehearsal that everything seemed to come
crashing down upon me. I could no longer bear it. I felt like if I just sat by
and watched any longer I was going to explode. As soon as I got home that night
I sat down at a computer, created a blog entitled environmental awareness, and
wrote my first article about the BP oil spill. It wasn’t very good; just a
short paragraph and a bunch of pictures, but it was a start. I wrote more
interesting articles, some poems, and even a short story. It was so cool to
look on the audiences tab of my blog and find out that hundreds of people were
reading my posts; not just from the States, but from Russia, China, and all
over the world.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-themecolor: text1;">That summer, my mom told me that I would be going away to
take action camp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I had never really
been away from my family for very long before and I wasn’t entirely sure what
Me to We was all about or what Take Action even meant. The first day at camp
was a little intimidating; I didn’t know anyone and had no idea what the week
would bring. My screechy voice at our first gathering when we were required to
sing didn't help much either. However, on the second day I felt like I knew the
other kids at camp better than people I’d known for year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the course of the week, my confidence
grew. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In school, I had always preferred
to work alone, since the people around me rarely were as willing to put in as
much effort as I. Being surrounded by people who were just as passionate as I
was gave me hope there were others who cared and were willing to work to make
this world a better place. There, I discovered the power I held as a youth and
that I didn’t have to wait until I grew up to make a difference. By the end of
the week, I was feeling more confident and excited than ever before. On the
last night of camp everyone had the opportunity to give speeches about our
plans for when we returned home. Originally, I hadn’t planned on giving one; I
was terrified of public speaking, even among people I knew well, especially
after hearing how spectacular the other speeches were. After a few kids had
gone, the room was silent. We were about to move on when, almost against my
will, my hand shot up. I walked up to the speaking area trembling. I had
absolutely no idea what I was going to say and had already started berating
myself as to how stupid of an idea this was. Outside of school presentations I
had never given a speech before.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: red; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I took a deep breath, attempted without much
success to calm my quivering, and began with, “I didn’t really plan for this,
so I’m just going to wing it.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then
I took off. It was like everything I had to say was already written, like the
words were waiting for this moment to escape out my mouth and present
themselves to the world -I hardly had to think about what I was saying. Before
I knew it, I'd finished, and the entire room erupted into an explosion of
applause.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My actions seemed to inspire
those younger than me to give speeches and eventually practically everyone in
the room had taken their turn.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">When I got home, I
was filled with excitement. I invited my friends over to help me make lavender
wands to raise money for the American River Association.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The unexpected benefit from doing this was
not the money, it was the kids. Kids ranging from around three to nine years
old, intrigued by the artful poster emphasizing how pollution affects our daily
lives, would gather around my stand. I was surprised and amazed at their enthusiasm
and willingness to learn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In one day, I
felt like I was able to make a lasting impression on children<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"> and their parents as well as others
who stopped to listen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was an amazing
feeling.</span></span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Thinking back to my Me to We camp experiences<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I</span> remembered the crazy, seemingly irrelevant things we were able
to accomplish together; silly things like building shoe towers and transporting
people across imaginary rivers of lava. I remember Take Action day, when we
went to Grouse Mountain and built a hummingbird garden. Facing the latter task alone
would have been time consuming and the results minimal<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">.</span><span style="color: red;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>But with a group, we had a great time
doing it; the enthusiasm we possessed while completing the task showed in our
results. A thought entered my mind: what if I didn’t have to save the world
alone? What if I could get others who had a passion to help me accomplish what
I knew needed to be accomplished. If one person could get people all over the
world to care, imagine what several could do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So, now in the year 2013, I find myself giving yet another speech.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lessons and skills I’ve learned from Take
Action Camp are still very much a part of me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I continue to try and inspire others; I’ve formed an environmental club
within my school which has planned to create a youth summer camp to teach kids how
they too can better help their community and the world around them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the Take Action camp I learned that
through leadership, persistence, and friendship, I could be a better steward
and bring my friends and community along with me to make great changes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you for helping create a movement
towards a better world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Help! Help! HELP!” I scream at the
top of my lungs, clawing uselessly at the pile of boulders covering the small
tunnel that was my only way of escape, praying that someone might be able to
hear me; the only response is the echo of my own voice, ricocheting off the
damp cave walls. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Help, help, help</i> the
walls whisper back, mocking my efforts. I continue to scream and claw and kick
and pound at the stones, until my voice is hoarse and my body bruised,
battered, and bleeding. With a sob of despair, I slide down against the cave
wall, resting my stinging fists on my knees. Struggling is pointless; I’m an
idiot for wasting my last moments on it. Once trapped inside, no one escapes
the caves. Ever. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Burying my face in my knees, my wails
echo off the cave walls, rising in a crescendo sounding not like the cries
of one girl, sitting alone waiting for death, but like that of a village during
a terrible plague, when the old and young die; those remaining not yet grown
left alone to fend for themselves. This disturbing sonata continues to grow and
thrive, only increasing my fear and adding fuel to the growing music. It is not
until my voice is hoarse and raw that the wails finally die down to whimpers,
barely audible through my trembling knees. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When my eyes have been cried dry, I
raise my head and look for a source of light that I know isn’t there. I’d heard
of people being trapped before, but never had I dreamt it would happen to me. I
begin to wonder what it is said all caught ones wonder about in their last
moments; how will I die? Will the air run out? Will I suffocate? Will the tide
come in and I drown? Perhaps the sun will come out and I’ll bake in here, or maybe
time will pass and I’ll just starve to death. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As I ponder the possibilities of my imminent
demise, I wonder what the village will think back home when I don’t return.
Will they assume that I perished while scavenging for food, or will they even
notice my absence at all? I know my grandmother and younger twin siblings would
never forget me, though without the supplies I bring in, I’m not sure how long
they’d last. The thought of being completely forgotten, washed away from the
fabric of time, frightens me almost as much as dying in here. Grandmother would
tell me nobody really dies, that they live on in the hearts of others. But what
happens if there’s nobody left to remember you?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then it hits me: what if I won’t be
forgotten? What if I live on, not in the hearts of those who knew me, but in
the minds of some distant people in the future who happen to stumble across my ancient
skeleton? Quickly, not daring to waste another moment, I dig into my backpack
and whip out a notepad and pen, hand poised to strike the empty page at any
given moment. I pause; this is it, my impact on the world, my gift to the human
race. And so I begin to write.</span></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Hello.
My name is Catherine Angelee Lockhart; I have been lucky enough to reach the age
of fourteen and have lived in the nearby village of Portum with my grandmother
and twin younger siblings. Well, I used to live there. My life is nearing an
end, and my last remaining family members are sure to follow. Trapped in this
cave, I have decided to spend my last moments, whether they be hours or days,
recording my memories in hopes that I will not be forgotten; so that I may live
on in the hearts and minds of others. And so, without further delay, I shall
begin. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Portum
was the name bestowed upon my village when the first survivors from the dark
ages built it in the year 2209. It means haven in Latin, and perhaps those who
have experienced life outside its borders view it as such. However, in my eyes,
Portum is one of the least hospitable places a poor, tired old sap could
stumble across. Our shacks are squished together so that one home can hardly be
differentiated from the other; the only distance between them are tiny walkways
separating each row, wide enough for a mere three people to walk side by side.
Each shack has a low ceiling with scarcely enough room for two traditional beds;
each housed at least four, while some as many as ten. Walking through the
streets, you see the small grimy forms of children peeking out from behind
cloth doorways, their sunken eyes staring mournfully from skull-like faces. This
is their way of begging; for scraps, clothes, anything really. Their eerie gaze
follows you as you pass by, almost hungrily. No one ever helps, though. In
Portum, everyone fends for themselves; only the strongest survive.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>That’s
the opposite of my family right now. Grandmother is ancient; she must be 56 by
now. As for my younger siblings, Amber and Coal, they were both born weak and
sickly. It’s almost unheard of for a mother to have twins nowadays, ever since
the crops failed. Most of the old stories I’ve salvaged from the ruins of
houses and libraries act like a single catastrophic event is what blotted out the
sun and tore apart mankind. But the real way it happened was much slower,
agonizing, humiliating even. Our ancestors were careless and naïve. Life was
too easy for them; an escape could be easily provided by looking the other way.
They had no idea the future their ignorance brought upon us. If they had only
been less selfish and lazy, maybe Portum could live up to its name. Because of
the extreme amount of carbon dioxide that was sent into our atmosphere, the
earth is warmer than ever. Seas have risen to flood our lands and areas where
it was warm before are now barren desert wastelands. Refugees flocked to places
like Portum for a hundred years before the flow finally stopped.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Overcrowding
has been the end of many a village. A large population in small spaces makes
cleanliness difficult and diseases remarkably easy to spread. Plagues are the
leading cause for a community’s demise; a close runner up is starvation. Any
attempts at agriculture are futile now that the sun is cloaked by gray cloud
cover every day. Food has to be scavenged from the old ruins surrounding the
village, which can be dangerous and, after two hundred years of searching, less
than fruitful. It is the reason why Amber and Coal will never live to
adulthood; their mother simply didn’t have enough strength to give, even if she
relinquished her own life so they could have theirs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Ever
since mom’s death four years ago, I’ve taken up life as a scavenger. Out of the
few ways to make a living, scavenging is the most dangerous. A wrong move can
get you killed faster than you can say shoot. But it was the only way for me to
support my grandmother and two sickly children. That was how I ended up like
this; stuck in a cave, waiting for the oxygen to run out. There’s this legend
that some lady from the 21’st century was paranoid about a food shortage, so
she stored a whole villages worth of canned goods deep inside a cave near Portum.
Supposedly, the old woman died before she ever got a chance to use any of it,
and no one’s found it since. I figured if I found her secret stash, I’d never
have to scavenge again, and Amber and Coal would sleep soundly, not having to
worry that the sister that cared for them so much as to risk her life wouldn’t
be there come morning. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Now
that dream is gone. I’ll never again see the smiling faces of Amber and Coal,
feel their tugging hands as they pester me to tell them a story before bed,
watch them huddled together as one pair of sleepy eyelids begins to droop, then
the other, and before you know it, they’re both asleep on the floor, snoring
lightly. I’ll never be able to hear any more wisdom from my grandmother or feel
her wrinkly old arms embrace me as she kisses my cheek goodbye each morning. There
is only one fate left for us now; leave this world, never to return. No one is
going to save us. My vision of two smiling children stuffing their faces with
bits of pineapple while grandmother scolds them about manners, is impossible.
And so, in order to grant myself some solace in my last moments, I have one
last plea before I die, and that is to not be forgotten. Whoever you are,
whether it be a hundred or a thousand years from now, remember the words I have
written today. Do not forget the world I speak of or the mistakes of our
ancestors, for though I may be long dead, I am real, and these problems are
real. Refusing to acknowledge an issue does not solve it; it only provides a
safe place for it to grow and thrive until it is no longer within man’s
capabilities to control. Remember this, and I will rest in peace.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

from their grasp, rolling down the notebook and hitting the floor with a soft
clunk. Hurriedly, I stuff the journal into a plastic bag, drain the air, and
seal it shut. This way it won’t be damaged when the tide comes in. Stuffing the
journal back into my bag, I remove the blanket I found from a scavenge earlier
that day and find the most comfortable position to spend my last moments. I
know now that it’s suffocation that will take me; it’s an effort to perform
even the smallest tasks, and my eyes feel droopy. It’s strange, but in a way I feel
remarkably peaceful. I begin to wonder, what if it’s not so bad that
grandmother, Amber, Coal, and I are dying? What if death would provide an
escape from this rotten world, take us to another place where my twin siblings
can run and play in vast meadows, and grandma can sit in a rocking chair,
conversing with my mother about the afterlife like she always used to. “I told
you so”, she’d say smugly. “There’s always a place for people who are
remembered.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Harrington; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Faded Dreams<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Harrington; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I once dreamt of a place<br />
a sanctuary, a haven<br />
where the Earth was cool and soft<br />
a summer nights breeze blew gently through the meadow<br />
making the grass ripple and shimmer<br />
like the waves of the sea.<br />
The clear indigo sky was scattered with thousands<br />
of shining specks<br />
glimmering in an eternal darkness.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Harrington; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><img height="300" id="il_fi" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4A0hXDzjbzc/T2quAZgU6OI/AAAAAAAABNA/FQmbs3sNJSE/s400/night_time_meadow_premade_by_peachesrox-d32zqi1.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="400" /><br />
A full moon cast a silver veil over the peaceful scenery<br />
reflected in the mirror of a trickling pond<br />
with flashing fireflies flickering over placid waters.<br />
As I lay sprawled on the soft, moist bed<br />
gazing upon twinkling stars<br />
inhaling deeply the crisp night air<br />
I spot a dark figure swoop across the midnight sky<br />
and smile in anticipation of seeing again<br />
my friend, guardian, and gateway to this sacred oasis<br />
She is so beautiful, my guardian<br />
moth dust silver eyes and pearlescent horns gleaming in the moonlight<br />
bat-like wings folded delicately at her sides.<br />
Trotting towards me on four furred paws, <br />
marble claws digging into the soil,<br />
her head held high in regal grace,<br />
she lowers it to nuzzle my cheek<br />
telling me it is time to go.<br />
I rise from my resting place, climb upon her back<br />
and nestle my head in her silky, indigo-violet fur<br />
as she takes off, soaring up, <br />
up into the wind, the heavens<br />
the meadow shrinking to a minuscule dot <br />
then vanishing into the forest that we glide above now.<br />
The air flailing my short blond curls wildly behind my head<br />
makes me throw up my arms and revel in my freedom,<br />
the irreplaceable joy that fills you up, makes your face glow, eyes twinkle<br />
causing your lids to shut, a silly grin plastered on your face<br />
and, for just one moment in our troubling lives,<br />
to be truly, purely, and unexplainably happy.<br />
Looking back upon that moment,<br />
that amazing, incredible, spectacular moment that occurred deep within my
brain,<br />
I realize now that I couldn’t have savored it enough<br />
for, though innocence kept me from knowing then, <br />
I would only reach my sanctuary a few more times, <br />
until, like tar devouring a wailing infant, <br />
it, along with the rest of my world,<br />
melted into the abysmal void<br />
that plagues me as I slumber.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Imagine this: Helen, a mother with
three children, is shopping at the grocery store to buy food for her family.
Strolling through the produce section, her eyes scan the many crates, pondering
over which brand of apple would suit her household best; they come to rest on a
pink label that reads, “organic”. Scowling at the price tag, she wonders, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">why should I pay extra money for something
that is organic? I mean, what’s the difference? </i>In truth, there are
actually great quantities of reasons why organic foods are preferable to non-organically
grown foods: they are healthier, better for the environment, and are grown
without pesticides. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One little known fact about organic
foods is that they contain more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than non-organically
grown foods. Why? The reason is actually quite simple. Plants produce
antioxidants when placed in stressful conditions, such as becoming prey to a
predator. Because inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, they don’t have to
deal with the nuisances and therefore do not produce the antioxidants needed to
help them through such situations. Because organic foods are exposed to all of
nature’s obstacles, they are put in greater distress and, in turn, produce more
antioxidants, which are known to help fight cancer. When tested, organic foods
also are shown to contain higher levels of vitamin C, <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">calcium, magnesium, iron and chromium
than</span> non-organically grown foods<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<img height="371" id="il_fi" src="http://yuru.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dirtydozencartoon.png" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="500" /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Another reason to go organic is
because organic farming is better for the environment than non-organic farming.
Many </span>non-organically grown foods<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> are shipped all across the world, sometimes
sitting in crates for multiple days in one trip. Sending the goods to all these
different places uses an immense amount of fuel. Not only does the shipping of
the produce require an enormous amount of energy, but the shipment of the fertilizer
as well as its production requires so much fossil fuel that we are practically
eating it. Also, because of the time needed to ship fruits and vegetables to
their destination, most of the goods are harvested before they are ripe in
order to ensure that they are not rotten when they arrive. Because they don’t have
the opportunity to ripen on the vine, </span>non-organically grown foods<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> will
often possess less flavor than organic foods, causing 53% of the U.S to dislike
them. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Perhaps
the most crucial reason that many people choose to buy organic foods despite
expensive price is that</span> non-organically grown foods<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">, instead
of using natural means to keep animals and pests away, spray pesticides on the
produce, essentially covering them in a thin layer of poison. Animals, such as
birds, that are unfortunate enough to make the mistake of nibbling on a </span>non-organically
grown <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">fruit
or vegetable suffer severe consequences, and if they don’t die soon after their
error, their offspring will be born unable to survive in the harsh wilderness.
In addition to the direct poisoning of animals that eat the unsafe foods, indirect
poisoning occurs when pesticides are washed by rainwater into rivers, which
affect fish and other wildlife. Not only are small animals affected, but many humans
who eat the foods are also in harm’s way. As many as seven of the most toxic
chemical compounds known to man are approved to be used as pesticides by the CAC
(</span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Codex Alimentarius Commission) and which the
residues of are commonly found, as well as many other pesticide residues, in
baby foods, </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">spinach, dried fruit, bread, apples, celery, and chips.</span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> <span lang="EN">Although adults can experience symptoms as well, children
are the most prone to the dangers of nonorganic farming. Birth defects, cancer,
hormone disruption, neurological effects, and asthma are all common effects of
these poisonous residues.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In conclusion, organic foods are healthier, safer, and better for the environment
than </span>non-organically grown <span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">alternatives.
Although many people are fooled into buying the cheaper and often larger choices,
those who have outsmarted the price tag find that they lead happier, healthier
lives because of their decision. Don’t fall prey to the dangers that inorganic
foods present; buy organic produce as often as possible, particularly when
shopping for children. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What will life be like, a hundred years from now?<br />
What troubles my grandchildren shall face<br />
what life they shall live<br />
what joys they be blessed<br />
what tiresome struggles shall put them to test<br />
a hundred years from now?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What will life be like, a hundred years from now?<br />
When I have passed away<br />
will trees grow on rooftops<br />
cars soar above seas<br />
cities float atop clouds that blow in the breeze<br />
a hundred years from now?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What will life be like, a hundred years from now?<br />
If the blue and green Earth turn gray.<br />
Will the swallows that twitter<br />
the bluebirds that sing<br />
disappear in a flash without taking a wing<br />
a hundred years from now?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">What will life be like, a hundred years from now?<br />
I’m afraid I’ll be too old to tell.<br />
But hopefully someone<br />
who struggles and fights<br />
for the very same reasons that bring the earth light<br />
will still be there, out somewhere<br />
a hundred years from now.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Imagine this: the sun is setting
and it’s about time for the streetlights to light up, one by one, bright bulbs casting
yellow circles of light on the dark sidewalk below. However, as evening settles
in, it is not the dirty electric bulbs that illuminate the street; instead, a
ghostly blue light fills in the dark crevices, giving the street a magical
aura. In certain places, the captivating cave-like glow is replaced by a soft
golden light that radiates from above. The previously dull street is
transformed into something out of a dream. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Recently, students at Cambridge University
have discovered a way to insert the bioluminescent genetics found in fireflies
into other organisms. The first organism that went through this procedure was a
tobacco plant. Not only did the students successfully make the plant glow, but also
modified the bioluminescent genetics so that the produced light was bright
enough to read by. An idea has been proposed to do the same with trees in order
to replace streetlights, and although the research required to do so would be
fairly expensive, the result could potentially reduce the amount of money spent
on electricity as well as the human impact on the environment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Taiwanese researchers have come up
with a similar idea. Their “living streetlights” are made using gold nanoparticles.
The nanoparticles are inserted in the leaves of the tree, causing the tree to
give off a bright reddish glow which could be used in place of streetlights to
light the sidewalks at night. Not only do the nanoparticles provide light
without electricity, but they also cause the trees to photosynthesize while
they are lit which removes CO2 from the air. The expenses for this project
however are extremely high, as gold nanoparticles are made from real gold which
is very expensive. High prices set aside, these living lights are a potential
replacement for common streetlights that are used today. </span></div>

Earlier in this blog, both the ideas of micro wind turbines and new, clean sources to power vehicles have been addressed. The current solution experts are trying to come up with for the amount of pollution that cars are producing is to power them with hydrogen, though, as we have seen in an earlier article, has it's flaws. But what if we could find another source to power automobiles? Micro wind turbines are small and can withstand even the worst of weather conditions. So why not mount them on vehicles? As the car drove, it would create high wind speeds that would turn the propellers of the turbine rapidly. If the Turbine was hooked up to the car battery, it may provide a sufficient supply of energy to power the car without the aid of gasoline. However, there are still questions that remain: Where will the turbines be mounted, and how will they be secured? Could a wind turbine be small enough to fit on a car (and still look sightly enough for people to purchase the car) and still produce a enough electricity to power the car?<br />
<br />
I would like to hear other peoples' ideas on how we could make this work. Please post a reply with your thoughts.<br />
<br />
Thank you <u>Panda&#39;s Need to be Saved</u> for this great idea.<br />

These massive propellers can be up to 160 meters (525) in height and have blades that are 40 meters long. That makes the diameter of the blades longer than a football field! However, there is a problem with these enormous energy making machines; they simply take up too much space. Not only do they require room for the turbines themselves, they also need to be spaced far enough apart that each turbine gets enough wind to turn its huge propellers. Recently, experts have invented a smaller, more practical version of these colossal turbines known as micro wind turbines. These are, as their name suggests, mini wind turbines small enough that they can be placed in areas such as the top of a roof. A micro wind turbine, on a windy day, can provide enough energy to light an average household. They can also generate power with wind speeds as low as 2 meters per second. Although these new turbines are becoming quite popular in great Britain, many people do not like them because they are "unsightly" and make too much noise. However, with a little time, micro wind turbines could become a common appliance in our every day lives.<br />

Cars: Vehicles of the Future Hydrogen cars are vehicles that use hydrogen powered fuel cells instead of gasoline. These cars are environmentally friendly, as the only emissions they produce are heat and water (normally in the from of steam). So why doesn't everyone use these Eco-friendly cars? <br />
<br />
One reason is that making these cars can be very expensive, and building refueling stations for them even more so. The fuel cells in a hydrogen car contain platinum, which is very costly. A single cell hydrogen car currently costs $100,000 or more. Those who are less than optimistic have estimated the cost for building an infrastructure that will allow a significant number of hydrogen cars to be as high as $500,000,000,000, and that it might take four decades for it to be complete.<br />
<br />
Another issue with hydrogen is that it is highly flammable and is difficult to store. Since Hydrogen is a gas, it expands significantly with heat. Therefore, a car filled with hydrogen fuel sitting in the sun will have to vent some of the hydrogen. A car that is left like this will eventually have no fuel left. Hydrogen is also extremely flammable and is believed to be the cause for the explosion of the Hindenburg. <br />
<br />
The third reason hydrogen may not be ideal is that it may not be as Eco-friendly as we think it is. There are two ways to produce hydrogen. One is to extract it from water and the other is to extract from a natural gas. The process used to remove hydrogen from water is called electrolysis. In this method, an electric current is run through the water, separating the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The problem with using electrolysis is that much of the electricity used is produced by burning coal, which is causes pollution. The other way to get hydrogen, extracting it from natural gas, produces carbon as a bi-product, which is what we are trying to get rid of in the first place. <br />
<br />
But what if we were able to find a way around these obstacles? Like using solar power instead of burning coal or finding a less expensive metal that can replace the platinum in fuel cells? At this very moment, experts are coming up with new ideas to make the hydrogen car more realistic, but it could be decades before an effective way of creating this vehicle is found, and decades more before it is put into action. <br />
<br />
Please comment on this post if you have any ideas whatsoever on ways that might help the hydrogen car become a reality. Here is a link to an article that further discusses hydrogen cars and how they work. <a href="http://auto.howstuffworks.com/fuel-efficiency/hybrid-technology/hydrogen-cars3.htm">http://auto.howstuffworks.com/fuel-efficiency/hybrid-technology/hydrogen-cars3.htm</a><br />

A thick layer of oil coats the feathers of these birds, making them unable to fly. People are making an effort to save the birds by capturing them and cleaning thier feathers with bleach. Sadly, it is often too late to save these victims. Some birds who were effected by the spill while returning to their nests will not go back to care for their young after being cleaned.<br />
